AI Technical Summary
Benefits of technology
The solution enhances the stiffness of the connectors, prevents misalignment and deformation, and ensures reliable terminal contact, thereby improving the assembly stability and product performance.
Problems solved by technology
However, the receptacle connector and the plug connector are so small that the receptacle connector and the plug connector are not aligned and are assembled in contact with each other out of position when the substrates are connected.
When a force for assembling or an external shock is applied to the receptacle connector and the plug connector which are in contact with each other out of position, that is, in a misalignment state, there are problems that a contact portion between the receptacle connector and the plug connector may be easily deformed or damaged, and terminals retained and supported by the receptacle connector and the plug connector, respectively, may be easily deformed.
However, the lock metal piece of the receptacle connector and the counterpart lock metal piece of the plug connector, disclosed in the Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0111318, may be prevented from being released from each other when they are inserted, but do not have a structure capable of guiding the receptacle connector and the plug connector contacting in the misalignment state to be normally engaged and assembled with each other.
When the receptacle connector and the plug connector are assembled in contact with each other in the misalignment state, a deformation of the lock portion may be caused and thus there may be instability of a terminal contact point, causing poor contact between a terminal of the receptacle connector and a terminal of the plug connector.
In addition, the lock metal piece provided on the receptacle connector according to the above-mentioned document does not include a structure capable of surrounding a portion protruding from the center of a receptacle housing retaining and supporting terminals, that is, a protruding wall, in the above-mentioned document.
Therefore, an end of the protruding wall which may be easily deformed and damaged when the receptacle connector and the plug connector are assembled may not be protected.
Due to these problems, the related-art BTB connector has difficulty in guaranteeing reliability of product performance, and there is a limit to meeting customers' wants.

A receptacle connector having a stable contact point structure and a rigid structure, and a connector assembly including the same, is provided. The receptacle connector includes a receptacle housing, a plurality of receptacle terminals which are retained and supported in the receptacle housing in a first direction, and one pair of receptacle metal members which are provided on both ends of the receptacle housing in the first direction.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to Korean Divisional Application No. 10-2018-0078338, filed on Jul. 5, 2018, which, in turn, claims priority to Korean Application No. 10-2018-0059171, filed May 24, 2018, each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates to a receptacle connector which is used to connect substrates, and a connector assembly including the same.BACKGROUND ART[0003]As electronic products are miniaturized, components mounted therein become slimmer and smaller. For example, a board-to-board (BTB) connector may be mounted in a smartphone or a digital camera to electrically connect substrates. As smartphones or digital cameras are miniaturized, a receptacle connector forming the BTB connector and a plug connector engaged therewith become slimmer to have an ultra-narrow width of a few millimeters.[0004]The substrate having the receptacle connector mounted thereon, and the substr...
